In a retrospective study of 49 patients with retinal arterial microaneurysms, the overall visual results were good after a mean of 34 months, irrespective of treatment modality, unless subfoveal haemorrhage resulted in a macular hole.

Iacono et al (see page 1354)

A prospective study involving 27 patients affected by Stargardt disease revealed that the near-infrared fundus autofluorescence pattern correlates with morpho-functional outcomes. In particular, foveal hyper-fundus autofluorescence is associated with higher visual acuity and retinal sensitivity.

A subset of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa patients with mutations in the RP1 gene have myopia, similar to X-linked retinitis pigmentosa caused by RP2 and RPGR mutations.

Brennan et al (see page 1366)

Patients with advanced intraocular retinoblastoma who undergo secondary enucleation after neoadjuvant therapy remain at risk of high-risk histopathology features. Recognition of recalcitrant disease and further adjuvant therapy may still achieve cure.

Epidemiological features and diagnosis of sarcoid uveitis are described in a case series of 83 biopsy-proven cases.

Injected intraocular lenses are associated with a ten-fold lower incidence of endophthalmitis following cataract surgery compared with forceps-inserted foldable intraocular lenses.

Kamiya et al (see page 1381)

The differences in laser setting (140 nJ, spot distance 3.0 µm vs. 170 nJ, spot distance 4.5 µm) did not significantly affect the optical quality including the intraocular scattering of eyes undergoing small-incision lenticule extraction.

Parekh et al (see page 1388)

The authors report a laboartory study and clinical validation of a 3D printed smart storage glide for Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty.

Young et al (see page 1396)

In a retrospective study of 137 pterygia treated by excision with mitomycin C, limbal autograft or historical controls, the authors observed pterygium excision with combined conjunctival rotational autograft and mitomycin C to be effective in prevention of recurrence after surgery.

The clinical severity of childhood intermittent exotropia in Asian children is related to parents' but not the patients' health-related quality of life as measured by the intermittent exotropia questionnaire.

Kook et al (see page 1412)

The strength of the macular structure-function relationship in the temporal parafoveal location is significantly greater than that of other parafoveal location, and it is significantly greater in the inferior hemimacula than in the superior hemimacula.

Kanamori et al (see page 1419)

The authors measured cpRNFL thickness by SD-OCT in eyes with temporal hemianopia and found that the cpRNFL originating from the nasal hemireina entered into the optic disc predominantly at the 1 and 5 o'clock positions.
